Someone pinch me, I must be dreaming. At least this is the way I felt last week. There are many things you dream of in your life, but I never thought I would cram them all in a couple weeks.
It all started with the trip to Europe with my wife. Okay, okay, I have already talked about this so I will not go on and rub it in. So then, Monday, April 6th we returned home. Even with the delays, I arrived in my front door in time to give Mackenzie a great big hug and kiss just as the ball was being tipped. You guessed, the NCAA Men's National Basketball Championship game. With my head still in a fog, I watched as my Heels dominated for their 5th national championship.
As if this wasn't good enough, Tuesday after work I drove to Augusta, GA. For those who don't know, this is the home of The Masters. This is the most prestigious golf tournament and one I had only dreamed of attending since I was little. And here I was, driving to Augusta to enjoy an all expenses paid trip to see the Masters on Thursday and Friday. Since many of you may not be as big of a golf fanatic as I am, I will only say that the experience was unbelievable and as wonderful as I had imagined.
As I drove home on Friday night, there was no way to get the smile off of my face. I was exhausted, still jet-lagged, and could only reflect on the week I had just experienced. A trip to Europe, Tarheels National Champs, The Masters; I couldn't help but pause, look up and say thank you. Aren't you glad we serve a God who not only blesses us far above what we need, but at times gives us a week of our dreams. "Oh how He loves you and me."

My grandmother (dad's mom, who is with Jesus now) lived in North Augusta, SC. We could stand in her front yard and see the buildings of downtown Augusta in the distance. We've driven around the city many times during Masters weekend.
Glad you had a wonderful week. What a mighty God we serve!
Except for the trip to Europe this would also be Don's dream week. He was content to watch the Master's on TV this year. Maybe next year he will get to attend again. I am so glad God gave you this time to enjoy.
DO WHAT!!!!! The TarHeels won the NCAA Championship??? I had NO idea!!!
I love having weeks, days, even minutes where it seems that everything good is happening. I do pause to say a simple, but grateful "Thank You" to our God!!
